motionEyeOS is a Linux distribution that turns single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi into a video surveillance system with camera monitoring and motion detection. It ships as a complete OS image rather than a package to install on an existing system.

Use cases

  • turn a raspberry pi into a security camera
  • build a diy cctv system
  • monitor my home with a webcam
  • motion detection video recording
  • set up an ip camera server on a single board computer
  • self-hosted video surveillance

When to choose

  • you want a ready-made surveillance OS image for a single-board computer
  • you need motion-triggered recording and camera monitoring without manual setup
  • you prefer a dedicated device over installing software on an existing OS

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software with guaranteed updates
  • you want to run surveillance software on an existing Linux distribution instead of a dedicated image
  • you need hardware support beyond what the distribution provides
